You wild and crazy gardener you!

April 15th is our no freeze date. Have had lots of rain so I haven't tilled the garden yet. Last year I made green tomato mince meat so I went for quantity. Must have grown close to two hundred pound of tomatoes. I used 70 pounds of green tomatoes for the mince meat and ate or gave away the rest throughout the growing season mostly, July to October harvest.

This year I want to go for quality over quantity. I notice the quality (flavor) declined throughout the season. Any green tomatoes in the fall I will turn into fried green tomatoes. How do you maintain the flavor and what causes it to decline?

Hard freeze 2nd weekend in March.

Must be nice, I had sub freezing where I’m at.

I'm so happy for you, especially since you have raised beds.

A ways to go yet, but almost already through the first two months in the year, and that went by fairly quick. About 34 degrees here today, and rainy.
